Further down the page, you’ll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the ProForm PRO 5000 and the NordicTrack Commercial 2450.
But before checking out explanations regarding their specs and features here’s a table that summarizes the main technical summary sheet for these 2 treadmills:
Specs Comparison
In the first stage of comparison, it is time to discuss the price. Honestly, both ProForm Pro 5000 and NordicTrack 2450 cost almost the same as the mid-range options.
ProForm Pro 5000 allows users who weigh no more than 300 lbs. It is also the weight capacity that NordicTrack 2450 can handle.
Without an online app connection, ProForm Pro 5000 always gets ready with 38 preloaded workouts. Impressively, NordicTrack 2450 comes with a better impression of 40 workouts in total.
As for tread belts, not only ProForm Pro 5000 but also NordicTrack 2450 use the 2-ply belts. In comparison with the 1-ply belt, this type is considered thicker with higher durability.
ProForm Pro 5000 runs on a 4.0 CHP Mach Z™ Commercial motor for a powerful operation. However, NordicTrack 2450 steps up to the higher level with its 4.0 CHP DurX™ Commercial Plus motor. Generally, both of them perform so well in staying cool with the low noise level.
Another impressive point found in both ProForm Pro 5000 and NordicTrack 2450 is their incline/decline. This adjustment ranges from -3 to 15%, which is quite rare in the treadmill market. As a result, you have more choices for the training programs.
As for speed, these two get the common range between 0 and 12 mph. Combining with a wide range of incline/decline adjustments, how perfectly effective the challenge will be for the body fat-burning process!
Other than that, ProForm Pro 5000 features a built-in CoolAire™ fan with two-speed settings. In comparison, the Dual AutoBreeze™ workout fan is the one that NordicTrack 2450 uses. Thanks to these high-quality fans, you will surely feel comfortable while training regardless of how the weather is outdoors.
The ProForm equips their model Pro 5000 with the EKG™ heart rate pulse grips. You can find these hand-grip sensors on the handlebars of the machine. What about NordicTrack 2450? There are a couple of CardioGrip heart rate monitors located on the handlebars, too. Besides, the treadmill also comes with wireless Bluetooth chest straps.
Next, how heavy are these treadmills? ProForm Pro 5000 weighs around 300 lbs., while NordicTrack 2450 is 339 lbs. in weight. Well, the ProForm model undoubtedly gets a bonus point thanks to its light item weight.
Under the frame of these treadmills, we found a pair of wheels for each. These convenient wheels give better portability when you want to move the machine from one place to another. But there is a need to fold them up before moving.
In terms of dimensions, ProForm Pro 5000 measures 77.16” L x 39.15” W x 70” H while NordicTrack 2450 gets its size of 81.2” L x 39.2” W x 69.9” H.
These treadmills feature the common size of walking belts. Their belts measure 22” in width and 60” in length. This roomy dimension makes your running stride more comfortable than ever.
As the options for the home gym, both ProForm Pro 5000 and NordicTrack 2450 cannot miss the convenience foldability. You can fold them up vertically for storage whenever you want.
Features Comparison
On the console, there are all buttons that you can use to adjust speeds, incline/decline, fan speeds as well as workout programs. The brands call them “One Touch control”.
Also on the console, ProForm Pro 500 has a 10″ HD Touch screen, and NordicTrack 2450 features a 14” Smart HD touchscreen. The names are clear enough for us to know what the best is. The wider the screen is, the better you can track the training data.
Besides built-in workouts, both ProForm Pro 5000 and NordicTrack 2450 allow users to connect to iFit Coach for more online training programs.
Besides, the NordicTrack treadmill has an advantage over the ProForm option. It is the Bluetooth connection that enables users to enjoy music with their wireless headphones.
Finally, like many other treadmills, these two also come with trays. So, you can put things such as keys, phones, and bottles here.
NordicTrack 2450 is under the warranty of 10 years for frame, 2 years for parts, and 1 year for labor. And the same is also true for the case of the ProForm Pro 5000 treadmill.
